East Of The Sun
01:33

Tell me the way and I will seek you
Guided by the wind, the moon and the sun
I will break the curse upon us
When I reach the east of the sun

The Garden
03:49
|
|||
|
Better thank the morning light
For soon it will be gone
Thank the birds for their song
They no longer sing at dawn
Take away the air we breathe
Until we’re begging on our knees
Turn a blind eye to the sea
The oceans they will weep
Turn a blind eye to the sky
The thunder kicks and screams
PRE-CHORUS
Gone is the garden of Eden
Now she lies barely breathing
Gone is the garden of Eden
She lies in our hands bleeding
Better thank the aching trees
Their wounds they run too deep
Better thank the flowing water
Poisoned in its sleep
Better thank the evening light
For soon it will be gone
When will you come face to face
With all that you have done?
PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS
Where did it all go wrong?
Please tell me!
Where did it all go wrong?
Can’t you see?
Where did it all go wrong?
Please tell me!
Where did it all go wrong?
Gone is the garden of Eden
She lies in our hands bleeding
CHORUS

Third Lung
03:42
|
|||
|
Tapping on the glass
Like animals in a cage
We put ourselves in here
To find ourselves again
Deep sea diver
Mountain climber
Treasure hunter
Explorer
Risk-taker
Trailblazer
Thrill-seeker
Daydreamer
Never shall I go
Never shall I go
Never shall I go there
Breathing in and out
Living for the third lung
Moving in slow motion
Dancing to the same song
PRE-CHORUS
Never shall I go
Never shall I go
Never shall I go there
Breathing in and out
Living for the third lung
Living for the third lung
Find ourselves again
Living for the third lung
We don’t have the answers
Oh, but this is
What we came for
This is what we came for
We don’t have
The answers
But this is
What we came for
This is what
We came for
Breathing in and out
Living for the third lung
Never shall I go
Never shall I go
Never shall I go there
Breathing in and out
Living for the third lung
Living for the third lung
Find ourselves again
Living for the third lung

Great Unknown
03:45
|
|||
|
I am restless
Like the breaking waves
Underwater
I know I cannot stay
And I am shaken
By the need to get away
I am restless
Like the breaking waves
There is wonder
Running through my veins
Too many questions
Are calling out my name
We were made
From the land
We stand upon
Yet we can’t help
But step into
The great unknown
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
I am sleepless
Like a shooting star
And I fall softly
Underneath its charms
And now I’m floating
Far away from Helios
I am troubled
Like the raging storms
And I lie heavy
In its angry arms
I hear the thunder
As it sings its woeful songs
CHORUS
I'm impatient
Like a rolling stone
And I am hungry
There is more I want
I never settle
I walk into
The great unknown
CHORUS

St.Lucia
04:30
|
|||
|
There’s a long winter ahead of us
Cold enough for the trees to shiver
And the sun to grow weary
And the moon to shimmer
There’s a sleeping forest, a silent wood
Hidden in a sheet of white
It's crystal underfoot
A blanket of snow
And somewhere between
The dead of the night
And the slow and drowsy morning
The only sliver of light that gathers
Is a welcoming flame burning, burning
She stands alone in an ivory gown
Candles lit upon a silver crown
Made from ribbons and frosted branches
I watch in awe as St.Lucia
Dances, dances, dances
And underneath the distant stars
In a garden of midnight dreams
I watch the light dancing
Amongst the shimmering trees
And with the taste of winter
On the tip of your tongue
And the darkness that falls asleep
We foolishly forget
That the morning must return
CHORUS
Take us in your open arms
Take us in your open arms
Take us in your open arms
Take us in your open arms
CHORUS
Take us in your open arms

The Wishing Tree
03:41
|
|||
|
Take me to the wishing tree
Where I shall make
A wish or three
For I am weary of this world
I offer up this gift to you
A token of my gratitude
If only you could
Make dreams true
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Filled with hunger
Filled with thirst
I watch you light
And burn the earth
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Take me to the wishing tree
My mind is filled
With hate and greed
You won't give me
What I want
Could you ever be forgiven?
Can I ever be forgiven?
Filled with hunger
Filled with thirst
I watch you light
And burn the earth
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
I give you shelter
I give you air
But you do not even
Seem to care
Go on,
Take what you want
From me
Go on,
Take what you want
From me
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Do not cut me down
Filled with hunger
Filled with thirst
I watch you light
And burn the earth
Around me
Around me

24 Summers
04:05
|
|||
|
24 summers have passed
And I couldn't change a thing
Even if I wanted to
And like a river I run
Leaving behind
Every mountain I've climbed
And I cannot be undone
Who will I be?
Who was I then?
Who am I now?
Reveal yourself
24 summers have passed
All in the blink of an eye
Where has the time gone?
And like a river I run
Shifting and shaping
And forever changing
And I cannot slow down
CHORUS
Grey skies
They may suffocate me
But something will happen
Eventually
Grey skies
They may suffocate me
We cannot go back to the
Beginning
CHORUS

In the palm of my hand
I read a sign
Some say the cards don't lie
Gasp in fright at the hanged man
But death's not at your door
Oh, it's all a metaphor
For what's coming for
///
My skin crawls
With superstition
At the fortuneteller's visions
Gasp in awe at the shining star
And see the fortune at your door
Oh, it's all a symbol for
What's coming for you
///
We are
We are
We are fools and dreamers
Starry-eyed believers
We are fools and dreamers
Starry-eyed believers
We borrow the earth, love
Follow the fates from up above
Borrow the earth, love
Follow the fates from up above
We are
We are
We are fools and dreamers
Starry-eyed believers
We are fools and dreamers

Warpaint
05:05
|
|||
|
Maybe I am a hunter
And I will hunt you down
Drag my claws through the dirt
You lay waiting to be found
And you don't ask no questions
You only hear the lies
The looking glass deceives you
Well, you're hidden in disguise
And every step
That I ever did take
Was followed close behind
By the shadows
That linger steadily
And it haunts me every time
And I find that my mind
Is taking over me
Maybe I am the predator
And you will be my prey
Breathing down my neck
It's getting hard to pull away
And once you let
Your guard down
I'll cut away your wings
And if I'm feeling greedy
I will steal the voice that sings
PRE-CHORUS
Meanwhile the world
Carries on
She doesn't care
What you think
Maybe I am the devil
And I whisper in your ear
But then the voice of reason
Rings out loud and clear
Maybe it's all an illusion
Startled by the light
It's time to put
On your warpaint
We're going out to fight
And every step
That I ever did take
Was followed
Close behind
By the shadows
That linger steadily
And it haunts me
Every time
And I find
Only my mind
Will set me free
CHORUS

Athena
04:07
|
|||
|
Young girls start a war
With themselves
With themselves
It's such a long fall
Down the rabbit hole
The rabbit hole
We've come to tear
Each other down
With sharp tongues
With sharp tongues
Mirror on the wall
Says you're not enough
Says you're not enough
But reflections change
We were born
Strong as an ox
To break down
These four walls
As fierce as the lioness
Who watches
Her enemies fall
As soft as the sleeping lamb
Gentle and vulnerable
As wise as Athena is
There is no stopping us
There is no stopping us
Young girls fight a war
With themselves
With themselves
And those who came before
Well, they fought as well
They fought as well
They did not sacrifice
Everything they had
Everything they had
Just so we would
Shrink away
Into the night
Into the night
But perceptions change
CHORUS
Sometimes the world
Makes us turn against
Each other
We must reach out
For one another
There is no
Stopping us
There is no
Stopping us.
CHORUS

You are the one
Who lives in the clouds
Of your imagination
You walk around
In your dreams
Only you can be lost
In your own creation
Come as you are
Be who you want
To be, again
Dance like a child
No one is watching
You are the one
Who stumbles upon
Another universe
You'll find that time
Won't exist in your eyes
And the wonder will return
All that you are
All that you've
Always been
Unravel yourself
No one is watching
I am fearless
When I'm walking
Through the clouds
I am unafraid
When my dreams
Become alive
You are the one
Who wanders alone
In the landscape
Of your mind
Searching for stars
While escaping the dark
Won't you leave
This world behind
Come as you are
Be who you want
To be, again
Dance like a child
All is forgotten
Let go, let go
Let go, let go
Come as you are
Be who you want
To be, again
Dance like a child
All is forgotten
I am fearless
When I'm walking
Through the clouds
I am unafraid
When my dreams
Become alive
I am fearless
When I'm walking
Through the clouds
I am unafraid
When my dreams
Become alive
Let go

Martyr
04:47

|
Water lapping at my legs
The tides a-coming in
Rising waters hold me close
Its hands upon my skin
And though these stones
They weigh me down
I'd still rather live in sin
But I'm not afraid of dying
Instead it draws me in
To leave behind this cruel world
And let a new one begin
One where I can speak
My mind
Tilt my head towards the light
Let rain pour down on me
Strip me bare, there's no regrets
We agree to disagree
So I will not kneel down for you
Words won't set me free
But I'm not afraid of dying
Instead it draws me in
To leave behind this cruel world
And let a new one begin
One where I can speak my mind
One where I can speak my mind
One where I can speak my mind
Pull me under, pull me in
Pull me under, pull me in
Pull me under, pull me in
I am never giving in
But I'm not afraid of dying
Instead it draws me in
To leave behind this cruel world
And let a new one begin
One where I can speak my mind
One where I can speak my mind
Pull me under, pull me in
One where I can speak my mind
One where I can speak my mind
One where I can speak my mind
